# T-Series secures music rights for both Ramayana films with Rs 75 crore advance 2026-08-05T23:18:23+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk T-Series has won the music rights to both parts of Ramayana with an advance payment of Rs 75 crore, Bollywood Hungama reported, citing a close associate at the company. The associate described the sum as a refundable advance and said several other major labels had also been in the running before T-Series closed the deal, which the outlet calls one of the biggest music-rights agreements struck by an Indian company. The two-part epic is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, with music composed by A R Rahman and Hans Zimmer, and its cast includes Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol and Ravi Dubey. The first film releases on Diwali 2026, with the second following a year later on Diwali 2027. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The Rs 75 crore figure and its refundable structure both come from a single T-Series associate speaking to one outlet, and the identities of the rival bidders are never given, so the deal's real financial weight cannot be checked against any second account. Calling the agreement one of the biggest of its kind, and linking it to T-Series' standing in the music business, is the outlet's own characterisation of a deal whose full contract terms are not disclosed here. The soundtrack's reception once the first film opens on Diwali 2026 will be the first real test of whether the price paid holds up. ## Coverage - BollywoodHungama Tags: Ramayana, T-Series Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mega-exclusive-t-series-bags-music-rights-to-both-parts-of-ramayana-for-rs-75-crores-in-an-advance-deal/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
